Many travellers have failed to discover any
stone implements ~ Africa, and in view of
the comparative rarity Of these finds it seems
probable that the ua Of these manufactures
was never so prevalent among the ancient in
habitants of Africa among the prehistoric
races OF Europe and America possible
reason for this may lie found in the fact that
in no part of the world do outcroppings Of
iron cover so large an area ms in Africa 1t
Is within easy reach Of the native tribes, and
those destitute of it are supplied in the native
markets with its manufactured product by
those that have learned how to smelt iron ore
1t Is not at all unlikely that before the
making of stone implements had become a
great industry in Africa, rs it did in more
northern ATTITUDES, some ingenious tribe dis
covered the uses and advantages of iron. II
Is proverbal that news spreads rapidly in
Africa. Tribe after tribe may have learned
of this discovery until Africa suddenly
emerged into the iron age without lingering
long In the greater harbarism of the stone

her husband had given her a lecture on ner-

one or two of the children for school on q
winters morning, after breakfast slightly
belated. The good man would fall meekly
into the trap, not clearly remembering the
vastness of the llbor-the adjustings and the
tyings and the buttonings; the leggings and
the ovrrdrawers and the arctic shoes; the
jacket, scarf, coat, gloves, nittens, wristers
the hat or cap or hood, to be pulled and
pushed and tied in proper position; the COM
plete way in which all these things, besides
being put on, have to be mutually made fast
by strings and buttons and safety pins, so
that the child tlus dressed is a model of self
compressed packing, and could, like a well
packed barrel of china, be sent around the
world without injury. Calm must be the
spirit, high the purpose, of the father who
reaches the end Of this complex task without
a word Of impatience. while the wife whom
